AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
204 PM CDT WED APR 27 2016

.SHORT TERM...

A 994 MB SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WAS ANALYZED ACROSS SOUTHEAST
NEBRASKA AT 13Z... WITH AN ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT EXTENDING EAST
ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY TO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES WHILE A
COLD FRONT EXTENDED SOUTH OF THE SURFACE LOW INTO EASTERN KANSAS
AND INTO CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. THE COLD FRONT EXTENDS WEST OUT OF
OKLAHOMA THROUGH FAR NORTHERN TEXAS AND INTO NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO. A
DRYLINE WAS ANALYZED ACROSS SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA FROM THE COLD FRONT
SOUTH THROUGH THE CENTRAL PORTION OF THE STATE TO THE RIO GRANDE.
A 1003 MB SURFACE LOW WAS ANALYZED SOUTH OF DALLAS TX WITH AN
ASSOCIATED SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTHWEST TO THE TEXAS AND
MEXICO BORDER. TWO OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES WERE DEPICTED... ONE ACROSS
EASTERN ARKANSAS WHILE ANOTHER WAS LOCATED NEAR THE BORDER BETWEEN
TEXAS AND LOUISIANA AND EXTENDED SOUTHWEST OFF THE TEXAS COAST.
CLOSER TO HOME... SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WAS LOCATED WELL SOUTHEAST
OF THE CAROLINA COAST WITH A SOUTHERLY FLOW ALLOWING INCREASING
TEMPERATURES AND DEW POINTS ACROSS MUCH OF OUR AREA.

VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS GENERALLY LOW CLOUDS ADVECTING
NORTHWARD FROM LAMAR COUNTY SOUTHEAST THROUGH TUSCALOOSA COUNTY
AND FURTHER SOUTHEAST INTO TALLAPOOSA COUNTY TO LEE COUNTY. EXPECT
THESE CLOUDS TO CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHWARD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
HOURS. ADDITIONAL CLOUD COVER ASSOCIATED WITH SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY
WILL ALSO AFFECT MUCH OF OUR CWA THIS AFTERNOON AS WELL.

LOCAL RADARS ARE QUIET AT THIS HOUR WITH MUCH OF THE SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY LOCATED NEAR THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER FROM NEAR
MEMPHIS SOUTH TO NEAR GREENVILLE AND FURTHER SOUTH TO WEST OF
VICKSBURG. THIS ACTIVITY CONTINUES FURTHER SOUTH ACROSS CENTRAL
LOUISIANA INTO THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO.

AVAILABLE LOCAL WIND PROFILER DATA INDICATES GENERALLY UNIFORM
SOUTHWEST WINDS FROM THE SURFACE TO 8000 FEET WITH SPEEDS RANGING
BETWEEN 10 AND 30 KNOTS. THIS LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO
SUPPORT THERMAL AND MOISTURE ADVECTION FROM THE SOUTHWEST.

12Z BMX SOUNDING DATA REVEALS MEAGER EARLY MORNING INSTABILITY
WITH LAPSE RATES AROUND 6.5 DEGREES PER KILOMETER FROM NEAR THE
SURFACE TO ABOUT 500 MB. OVERALL THE SOUNDING IS CHARACTERIZED BY
A MOIST AIRMASS NEAR THE SURFACE WITH RELATIVELY DRY AIR ALOFT
WITH A SUBSIDENCE INVERSION LOCATED AT ABOUT 750 MB. WINDS WERE
GENERALLY LIGHT AT LOW LEVELS... LESS THAN 15 KNOTS... OUT OF THE
SOUTH FOLLOWED BY 10 TO 20 KNOT WINDS OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST FROM
AROUND 750 MB. FROM 500 MB TO NEAR 200 MB WINDS SHIFT OUT OF THE
WEST FROM FROM 20 TO 45 KNOTS. WEST WINDS RANGING FROM 50 TO 70
KNOTS WERE SAMPLED FROM 200 TO 100 MB. THE VERY GRADUAL SHIFT IN
WINDS WITH HEIGHT ALONG WITH WEAK SPEED SHEAR RESULTED IN STORM
RELATIVE HELICITIES LESS THAN 30 M2/S2 AND 0 TO 6 KILOMETER BULK
SHEAR LESS THAN 15 KNOTS. WET BULB ZERO HEIGHTS WERE JUST ABOVE
8200 FEET WHILE THE FREEZING LEVEL WAS JUST ABOVE 12000 FEET.
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WERE 0.92 INCHES THROUGH THE SOUNDING...
WHICH IS TYPICAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.

DESPITE THE INCREASING CLOUD COVER TODAY... WARM ADVECTION IS
EXPECTED TO CONTRIBUTE TO INCREASING TEMPERATURES AND DEW
POINTS... RESULTING IN INCREASING LOW-LEVEL INSTABILITY WHILE WIND
FIELDS GRADUALLY INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. NUMERICAL
GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO OFFER A VARIETY OF SOLUTIONS... BUT
GENERALLY MUCH OF OUR AREA IS EXPECTED TO EXPERIENCE CAPE VALUES
BETWEEN 1000 AND 2000 JOULES PER KILOGRAM ACROSS THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING WITH THE MOST UNSTABLE AIRMASS GENERALLY SOUTH OF THE
INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR. STORM-RELATIVE HELICITY VALUES WILL
INCREASE TO OVER 100 M2/S2 AFTER 18Z... PRIMARILY ACROSS OUR
WESTERN COUNTIES... THEN INCREASE FURTHER TO OVER 200 M2/S2
ACROSS OUR NORTHWEST COUNTIES WHILE VALUES OF 100 M2/S2 BECOME
PREVALENT ACROSS MUCH OF OUR AREA TOWARD 06Z TONIGHT.

OVERALL... EXPECT THE ENVIRONMENT TO SUPPORT AND MAINTAIN SHOWER
AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY AS IT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST WITH SOME
DEVELOPMENT AHEAD OF IT. WHILE SURFACE INSTABILITY VALUES WILL
DECREASE SOME TONIGHT... ENOUGH INSTABILITY WILL REMAIN ACROSS
THE AREA AND INCREASING HELICITY VALUES WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT
ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS. STRONG WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY RISK
ALONG WITH A RISK FOR LARGE HAIL AND A FEW TORNADOES. FLOODING
RISK IS VERY LOW DUE TO THE EXPECTED FAST STORM MOTION AND
PROGRESSIVE NATURE OF THIS SYSTEM.

05

.LONG TERM...

AS WE WORK INTO THURSDAY THE MAIN FRONT WILL STILL NEED TO WORK
THROUGH THE AREA. UNTIL IT PUSHES ALL THE WAY THROUGH AFTER
7PM...WE WILL MAINTAIN A SMALL THREAT FOR SEVERE STORMS...
ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF THE I-85 CORRIDOR. HAVE PRETTY MUCH TOSSED THE
MODELS OUT THE WINDOW THIS AFTERNOON AS NONE REALLY HAVE A GREAT
HANDLE ON THE CURRENT SCENARIO. EXPECT THE FRONT TO FINALLY WORK
OUT EARLY THURSDAY EVENING AND THE HIGH PRESSURE FOR FRIDAY.

THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL WORK QUICKLY INTO THE AREA LATE SATURDAY
AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS AS THE WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTHWARD
WITH THE MAIN FRONT MOVING THROUGH ON SUNDAY. LOOKS LIKE THERE
WILL BE A HIGH CHANCE OF SEEING SHOWERS AND STORMS SUNDAY MORNING
IN THE WEST AND THEN MOVING INTO THE EAST LATE MORNING INTO THE
AFTERNOON. IF THE SYSTEM CAN SPEED UP ANY THEN EAST ALABAMA MAY
BE CLEARED BY 3 PM AND STILL HAVE SOME DRY CONDITIONS FOR THE
AFTERNOON BUT THAT SCENARIO IS NOT LOOKING PROMISING AT THIS TIME.

IN FACT THE EURO IS NOW STALLING THE FRONT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
HALF OF THE AREA MONDAY AND THEN LIFTING BACK NORTH MONDAY NIGHT
INTO TUESDAY WITH ANOTHER DISTURBANCE MOVING THROUGH THE AREA ON
TUESDAY.

16

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF DISCUSSION.

VFR/MVFR CIGS FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS WE HAVE SOME CLEARING
BEFORE THE FIRST ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES
INCREASING AFTER 20Z FROM SOUTH AND WEST AND SPREADING NORTHEAST
THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS FOR MOST TERMINALS. VCTS REMAINS
IN THE TAF DUE TO UNCERTAINTY IN THE COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA...BUT ADDED IN TEMPO FOR THE INITIAL
WAVE BASED ON A BLEND OF THE HI RES NMM AND HI RES ARW. IFR CIGS
ARE EXPECTED TO RETURN ACROSS MUCH OF THE STATE OVERNIGHT TONIGHT,
WITH ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND STORMS THROUGH THE END
OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. SURFACE WINDS WILL PREVAIL MAINLY FROM THE
SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON AROUND 10 KNOTS...WITH A FEW GUSTS CLOSE TO
20 KNOTS POSSIBLE AT TIMES.

16

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH
THURSDAY. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE...WITH SOME STORMS
PRODUCING STRONG WIND GUSTS. A DRY PERIOD ON FRIDAY WILL BE
FOLLOWED BY INCREASED RAIN CHANCES OVER THE WEEKEND. NO FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS AT THIS TIME.
